A rough, hand-rendered display face with chunky, low-contrast strokes and visibly irregular outlines. The letterforms keep mostly simple, archetypal skeletons, but their edges look torn or chipped, with inconsistent corners and subtly varying stroke lengths that create a jittery rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and terminals feel abruptly cut, giving the whole set a patchy, distressed silhouette. Spacing and proportions are moderately inconsistent, reinforcing the variable, handmade texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings where texture is a feature—posters, headlines, cover art, comic-style captions, and playful event flyers. It can work for brief phrases or subheads, but the rough perimeter detail may feel busy in long passages or at very small sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and oddball, with a DIY, cutout-like energy. Its uneven contours and slightly wobbly stance suggest humor, messiness, and a purposely imperfect attitude—more zine and prop-lettering than polished branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, one-off look: familiar letter structures made distinctive through distressed edges and uneven finishing, producing a wacky, handmade display voice that stands out immediately.
In text, the distressed edges add a persistent noise pattern that becomes part of the color of the paragraph. The numerals and capitals carry especially bold, blocky shapes, while the lowercase remains compact and casual, keeping the overall tone light despite the heavy black presence.
